Principles Guiding Readers’ Workshops

• Engagement in authentic reading work is key.• Conversation with and among students is critical to

comprehension.• Choice is very important.• All students are entitled access to grade level text.• Formative assessment plays a critical role.• Teachers need to understand how to effectively confer

with students.• A selection of rich narrative and informational texts

needs to be available to all students.
